Making art classes accessible has always been a key pillar of WAG-Qaumajuq. Our Studio Course Fee Assistance Program aims to expand access to art classes, regardless of family income. Thanks to generous support from the Graham C. Lount Family Foundation, we are pleased to offer subsidized classes to those who are unable to pay the full course fee.

If the previous application was based on financial grounds or additional needs, the applicant should indicate whether those conditions persist.
- Classes or instructors may be subject to change without notice.
